Stumbling Towards Sanity.

Salutations, my dear Reader!

Clearly out of boredom from clicking on a 1,000 different Wikipedia links, drunken YouTubing, or 2am Facebook perusing, you have somehow managed to stumble onto my Blog thing. Welcome to the miasma of bad puns and liberal bias that is The Accidental Narcissist.
